Click photo for enlargement.
These solid color ceramic triangular tube beads were hand-made and hand-painted by expert Peruvian crafts people. The clay was fired, painted and glazed, then fired a second time for a true ceramic hardness.
The lot includes ten each of five different colors--cobalt blue, wine red, pumkin orange, green, yellow, black and white.
Because they are handmade, there are slight variations in the sizes of the beads and in the sizes and positions of the holes. They are about 18 mm tall and 8 mm on a side, with 2.5 mm holes.
